New snow and Easterly winds will add depth to localised areas of windslab in sheltered gullies and on slopes mainly above 850 metres with a South-West through North-West to Northerly aspect. Gully exits and steep corrie rims will be most affected. Some small fragile cornices may also exist in these locations. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.
